IFS Compact suspension
The twin-link layout is inspired directly from the gravity 6-bar IFS linkage of the COLLOSUS N, which was developed on the EDR race circuit to maximise traction, high speed stability and control. IFS compact has been designed to carry over all these qualities, in a more pedal efficient, lower weight linkage for trail use.

FAQ
-
That doesn’t look like the IFS system, how is it the same as the N9?
The main part of the IFS system is the double link at the bottom of the seat tube, on the Collosus TLE we separated the links which gives us more freedom to keep the same anti squat, which was all dictated by the characteristics of the previous model.
-
Is the bike compatible with a coil shock?
No, the Collosus TLE is not compatible with a coil shock
-
What is the maximum tyre?
Max tire is 2.6”.
-
Can the bike be setup as a mullet?
No.
-
UDH derailleur hanger compatible?
Yes, the frames use UDH.
-
Can the bike fit a coil?
No, you cannot fit a coil shock.
-
What is the Dropper Post Insertion?
It can fit a 200mm dropper in the Medium RAD brand - insertion will change depending on the size.
-
Why are the Chainstay all the same length?
The chainstays are the same length because we had to allow room for the Bosch Motor.
-
How do I charge the battery? And how long will it take?
The battery can be charged either installed in the bike, via the charging port on the left side in front of the motor, or detached from the bike using the additional connection port supplied with the charger. Charging to 50% takes. approximately 2 hours, while a full charge requires 4 hours.
A special note for Indonesia: please use a 220-240V charger, not a 110V charger, to avoid any potential issues.
-
I like to ride in mud, are the electronics weather-proof?
Yes. The BOSCH Performance Line SX systems are waterproof for use under normal riding conditions. Please do not use a high-pressure washer to clean your bike.
-
How fast can I ride?
When gravity is on your side, there is no limiting your speed beyond that of a “normal” MTB with 150mm of awesome suspension. As far as motor assistance is concerned, the BOSCH Performance Line SX systems will provide motor assistance up to 20mph (32km/h) in the USA and Indonesia, or 25km/h in Europe and Australia.
-
How far can I ride?
The range of any e-MTB depends on many variables, including terrain, gradients, rider weight, assistance mode, rider input, ambient temperature, etc. While 125 km adventures* are definitely achievable aboard the Collosus TLE, we recommend using the Range overview on the display for the best estimate. The range overview is recalculated continuously by calculating speed, rider behavior and power consumption. This means that range overview makes a prediction, which can vary depending on these different factors.
(*) With ECO mode
-
What is the weight of the Collosus TLE?
Size M = 22.2 kg
(*) Applies to both Collosus TLE0 and Collosus TLE8 models.
